Prevent Blindness has launched a revised Children’s Vision Screening Certification Course designed to prepare participants with evidence-based, leading expert-approved screening practices. The course also trains learners on how to make appropriate referrals for eye examinations and improve the follow-up process to help reduce potential gaps between referrals from vision screening and completion of recommended eye examinations and treatment.
According to Prevent Blindness, the Children’s Vision Screening Certification Course is designed specifically for school nurses, public health nurses, and pediatric and family nurse practitioners; early Head Start/Head Start staff; early care and education staff; community volunteers; and primary health care providers including pediatricians, physician assistants, and medical assistants.
